After Bottling...

[mcbrown]

1) Should the bottles be standing or resting on their side?

2) Placed in a fridge or kept out at room temp, which in my basement is a consistent low 70s?

3) Keep bottled 2 or 3 weeks before serving?

Thanks in advance. I'm sure I'll be posting more questions.

CHEERS!

1. Standing so the yeast settles on the bottom.
2. Room temp (70f+)
3. Bottled 3 weeks, then stick in the fridge a minimum of 24 hours before drinking.

Welcome to the hobsession!!

Oh, another question. Should I be keeping my ingredients kit (the entire box) in the fridge until brew day?

Just the hops maybe, and yeast definitely. Although I guess the whole kit wouldn't hurt if you've got the space!
